"Troll", I don't think so. Just because someone voices an opinion different than yours does not make him a troll. Also trolls do not leave their e-mail address.

[One of the things we (DFWHS) have been pretty good at is staying away from the kind of schoolyard fights that occur among some herpers.]

I see no "schoolyard fight", yet again I see an opinion you dislike. Also I asked Justin his opinion, I would like to know if others have similar opinions to mine.

[No one is unwelcome at DFWHS unless they try to pick fights.]

Yet again, when have I tried to pick a fight in this thread? It seems to me unpopular opinions are unwelcome on this forum. I live in Dallas, so I chose to post on the DFWHS forum, should I have gone to the ETHS website? Houston is just a little far for me.

[It's quite possible you're really trying to talk to me, as I've written a couple of things recently for the newsletter and website that pertain to keeping venomous snakes (though those articles do not say the things you attribute to some "elitists" out there somewhere). ]

I have never read your "article", nor did I ever address you personally. I made a personal opinion public on this forum, just because you took it personally is not my problem.

[If you want to insult people, hoping someone will take the bait and start a fight, kindly take it elsewhere.]
